Taken from my apartment. I had to move my couch, a coffee table and a few other things.
My lens is a 28mm (which on a 10D means it's closer to 50mm), and that's not wide enough to capture this triple window from directly in front of it. So, I had to move to the side a little. I turned off all the lights, lit up the window frames with tea lights and took long exposures to capture the city lights on this hazy night.
I had the camera on a tripod at my height and used an external shutter release to keep from shaking the camera.

hey! you told me about this webpage at the walkmen/modest mouse concert my (name is victoria) remember? you were right, this website is awesome and these people are so talented! this photograph is definately one of my favorites from your collection, its so pretty
you see things in a beautiful way
I like the triptych effect of this shot; but I think it's marred a bit by the loose blindes to the left of the center and left panels. I think if they were tucked over tightly against the sides of the windows the effect would be stronger. I like the lighting and mood; would probably look good in B+W as well.
Very pretty view - the only improvement I'd suggest is taking the photo from straight on, standing in front of the center window. Nice job with the exposure and city lights.
